    anyone try vm32's? (cb350/360 kit)

    from what i learned from lots of reading is, they will work, but your gonna spend alot of money on jets, have 5 things in these carbs to change, and no real baseline, so its alot of guess work, i would go vm30s though. and buy them not in a kit, you can get vm30s brand new for about 66 bucks if...
